I Capture the Castle-Diary Form

I Capture the Castle is told through Cassandra’s entries in her journals, an exercise she has undertaken in order to teach herself how to write. Why do you think Dodie Smith chose the form of the diary to tell the story of Cassandra and the Mortmain family?

Actually I have no idea, but I would suggest, from the limited writing that I have done, it's easier :D

I think because the act of journaling and the tone of the journal is essential to portraying Cassandra's character.
